Kristin Davis Joins CBS’ ‘Bad Teacher’

Sex And The City alumna Kristin Davis is returning to series television with a role in the CBS comedy pilot Bad Teacher, from Sony TV. Based on the 2011 movie, CBS’ single-camera pilot, written/exec produced by Hilary Winston, directed by Don Scardino and exec produced by the film’s writers Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg, centers on hot, confident, unapologetic former trophy wife Meredith Davis (Ari Graynor), who becomes a teacher to find a new man after her husband leaves her without a dime. Davis, repped by UTA, Mosaic and Lawyer Jason Sloane, will play Ginny, a history teacher, choir director, Faculty President and Meredith’s nemesis. The role was played by Lucy Punch in the movie. The pilot is also exec produced by Michael Lasker, Jimmy Miller and Sam Hansen.

God almighty! What a fabulous cast! CBS has the best crop of comedy pilots, no doubt about that. If they’re not gonna pick up at least five of them I’m gonna be seriously mad!

CBS does have some substance in terms of cast this year although I would not count on this particular pilot being picked up/highly successful. NBC’s crop is very impressive actually, in terms of comedy.
